Recent studies employing the spatial interference paradigm
reveal qualitative differences in congruency effects between
gaze and arrow targets. Typically, arrows produce a standard
congruency effect (SCE), with faster responses when target
direction aligns with its location. Conversely, gaze targets
often lead to a reversed congruency effect (RCE), where
responses are slower in similar conditions. We explored
this dissociation using the Conditional Accuracy Function
(CAF) to assess accuracy across reaction time bins. Using a
hierarchical linear mixed modelling approach to compare
cropped eyes, and full faces as social stimuli, and arrows as
non-social
stimuli, we synthesized findings from 11 studies,
which led to three distinct models. The results showed that
with non-social
targets, incongruent trials exhibited lower
accuracy rates in the first bin than in subsequent bins, while
congruent trials maintained stable accuracy throughout the
distribution. Conversely, social targets revealed a dissociation
within the fastest responses; alongside a general reduction
in accuracy for both congruency conditions, congruent
trials resulted in even lower accuracy rates than incongruent
ones. These results suggest with gaze targets that additional
information, perhaps social, in addition to the automatic
capture by the irrelevant target location, is being processed
during the earlier stages of processing.
